New York State: Veterans Education Benefits, Post - 9/11 GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon Program
- For veterans with active duty service, there are a number of programs available to help with the costs of college. For example, the Post-9/11 GI Bill provides students attending private colleges and universities in New York State up to $18,077.50 per academic year. In some cases, this benefit can be transferred to other family members. For program overviews, visit www.gibill.va.gov.
- In addition, several private, not-for-profit colleges and universities in New York State are participating in the Yellow Ribbon Program, a matching program that will cover some or all of any tuition and fee charges not covered by the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
- For additional information, visit www.gibill.va.gov/benefits/post_911_gibill/yellow_ribbon_program.html.
- A scholarship program for Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, or other eligible combat veterans matriculated full- or part-time at an undergraduate or graduate degree-granting institution or in an approved vocational training program in New York State.

- Note: The combined tuition benefits available to a student cannot exceed the student’s total tuition costs. Tuition payments received by a student under the Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33 veteran benefits) and Yellow Ribbon program are considered duplicative of any VTA and/or TAP award. Students receiving tuition assistance through these programs may, and in most cases will have their State VTA and/or TAP payment reduced or denied due to these other benefits. However, payments received under the Montgomery GI bill do not duplicate the purpose of the VTA and/or TAP.
- For more information about VTA and how to apply, contact the NYS Higher Education Services Corporation Scholarship Unit at 1-888-697-4372 or visit www.hesc.ny.gov.
